متن کاملThe Study of Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Concentrations in the Different Paraoxonase Phenotypes of Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration Disease
Background and Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a degenerative retinal disorder that causes progressive loss of central vision in older adults. The study aimed to determine the effect of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as oxidizing metabolite and paraoxonase (PON1) activity within its phenotypes as an antioxidant agent in the development of such multifactorial disease. Mater...
متن کاملMacular pigment and age related macular degeneration.
The present concepts of the pathogenesis of AMD include cumulative light damage by oxidative processes in the macular photoreceptors as environmental co-factor for the development of AMD. The direct causative connection of this hypothesis has still to be established but wide circumstantial evidence from epidemiological and basic scientific investigations are strongly supportive. Macular pigment...
متن کاملMacrophages and Macular Degeneration
Treatment of retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), macular edema and occlusive vascular disease has benefitted greatly from basic and translational research. Understanding of the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) led to the development of its inhibitors, which are now widely applied. 1 In this issue of JOVR, Nourinia et al 2 investigate a potentially n...
